Description

One of the absolute fastest and easiest ways to reduce your public speaking fear is to start introducing stories and examples into your formal presentations or PowerPoint deliveries. 

So when participants first come through our public speaking classes or our training classes, we introduce this technique and, a lot of times, a lot of folks will sort of resist it. They'll say things like "my presentations are a lot more fact focused/data driven/number oriented, I don't think people will really be interested in hearing stories they just want the numbers. 

What they don't realize is that they are completely missing out on a way better way to solidify the data they are sharing and better convey the statistics they are using. Stories make your presentations easier to follow, easier to understand, easier to deliver, and way more memorable. 

So stick around for a few reasons you should really start implementing stories, a few tips to start implementing them, and a few ways to come up with the stories in the first place.
